What is The Economic Point of View : an Essay in the History of Economic Thought about?

The Economic Point of View is the inaugural volume in Liberty Fund new Collected Works of Israel M. Kirzner series. This work established Kirzner as a careful and meticulous scholar of economics. No other living economist is so closely associated with the Austrian School of economics as Israel M. Kirzner, professor emeritus of economics at New York University. He has been a leader of the generation of Austrian School economists following Ludwig von Mises and F. A. Hayek. In The Economic Point of View , Kirzner explores the basic ideas around which the entire body of economic thought has revolved for some two centuries. He explains how the economic point of view emerged in the development of economic science since the eighteenth century and through it, the concepts of purpose, subjectivism, and rationality. Kirzners incomparable ability to navigate through the core ideas of economics helps the reader become progressively familiar with the history of the discipline and its definition. Within the seven chapters, Kirzner discusses such subjects as the science of wealth and welfare; the nature of economic science and the significance of macroeconomics; and the sciences as human act
